Back on Track for Project Linus

Well, I guess the quilting burnout is officially over, because I've finally made a Project Linus delivery to Mercy Children's Hospital-St. Louis on behalf of Project Linus. (I've been delivering there for years and know the Child Life staff now.)

The first quilt was given to a teenage boy right away, and his mom sent me an email. One thing I have noticed in the few times I have gotten feedback from a family is that they are amazed that PL volunteers would make something for "someone you don't even know". That is the beauty of Project Linus and all comfort quilting, isn't it?

This batch of quilts is different from my usual quilting because all of the quilts are pieced and half are machine quilted. I need to use my stash, and piecing with scraps is a good way to do this. (I have to say, though, that I don't see any extra space in the closet yet, though!)

About Me

Hi! I'm a middle-aged quilter in Middle America with an extra-large love for quilting and fabric. A quilter since 1985, I have made over 300 quilts myself and have worked with many other quilters on donations to Project Linus.
My dear husband and I were married in 1973. We have two adult children, a lovely daughter-in-law, and the two cutest granddaughters on the face of the Earth! We also serve as domestic staff for a senior citizen cat, Quincy.
Quilting is a huge part of my daily life, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
